“They were genuinely worried what we would do to them. They locked it to keep us apart. We were all at boiling point.

“I went mad but Rylan told me to cool it and not give them extra airtime. But he was raging, too. He really wanted to lynch them.”

And while Speidi often claimed to be worried about their safety, the rest of the group were scared of them.

Frankie confessed: “People were frightened of them. Spencer is intimidating. He has that frightening look that he could snap at any moment.

“Even I was frightened of them sometimes.

“From Day One there was a bad atmosphere and we all walked on eggshells around them. I gather they called me names and slagged me off about not being British and told me to go back home.

“But I don’t care. I’ve been called a lot worse.”

And he joked: “If there were a horse called Speidi, I would crack my horse whip for sure.

“But I refuse to stoop to their level. The more petrol you put on the flames the bigger the fire is going to be. I told people to keep their cool and remember this is only a game show.”

Former Emmerdale and Corrie star Tricia admitted: “I was scared of Spencer.

“His eyes were scary. He would sit in the chair staring at me.

“After they came back from the basement, I was afraid to sleep in the same room. Thankfully, they were put back in the basement.

“It annoyed me that they called us fake and weirdos. They are the false ones.”

Both maintain the pair’s steamy bedroom antics were for the cameras, with Frankie saying: “It didn’t surprise me one bit. They are a circus act.”

Mum-of-two Tricia added: “I used to get up in the night and hear noises coming from their bed.

“I am pretty sure they did it to get airtime. I mean, they wouldn’t kiss at first.

“The other night she was lapdancing and, let me tell you, she was bloody good. No amateur.

“She has definitely done that before.”

Tricia said her family feared for her safety too, adding: “After I came out, my nine-year-old son came on the phone crying because he was worried about me after seeing how horrible Speidi had been. He thought they were nasty.

“No-one in that house wants to see them again.”

However, all of the housemates will face one another tonight at Elstree TV Studios for the CBB final and after-party.
